The 5-10 sophomore guard became only the third player to score more than 100 points in an NCAA game. The previous single-game NCAA record was set by Rio Grande's Bevo Francis with 113 points against Hillside in 1954. Francis also scored 116 against Ashland Junior College in 1954. And Frank Selvy scored 100 points for Furman in 1954 against Newberry.

The NBA record for points in a game is 100, set by Wilt Chamberlain in 1962

Just as astounding, Taylor scored 80 points in the second half Tuesday night. Overall, he made 52 of 108 field goals, including 27 of 71 3-pointers.

"There was a point during the second half where I hit a number of threes in a row - maybe seven or eight - I felt like anything I threw up was going in," said Taylor, who transferred to Grinnell from Wisconsin-Lacrosse last year. "I've been in the zone before but I've never taken so many shots."

Bryant was just as impressed with the number of 3-point shots taken by Taylor. When he heard Taylor launched 71 3-pointers, Bryant said, "Holy s---. How many points did they score as a team?" When told 179, Bryant said, "That's incredible."

Miami Heat star LeBron James was so awed that he said he wanted to watch a replay of the game.

"It's unbelievable, honestly," James said. "I would like to see the game. I want to see the game.

I watched Kobe's game when he had 81. I watched some of the greatest games ever played when guys scored big numbers. There's two games that I would love to see: One was Wilt (Chamberlain), when he had 100, and this kid, I want to see him, too. Sir Jack."

New York Knicks forward Carmelo Anthony said of Taylor's feat: "I never heard of nothing like that. That's like a video game. How can you shoot 100 times, though?"

Oklahoma City center Cole Aldrich added on Twitter: "138 points is impressive, but I think shooting 108 times is more impressive."
